BREAKING: NPR drops bombshell, reveals that it’s quitting Twitter permanently over Twitter owner Elon Musk’s “exceptionally harmful” and “dangerous” decision to shamelessly and inaccurately label NPR as “government-funded media.”
In a scathing press release, NPR accuses Musk of “undermining” its “credibility” by “falsely implying that we are not editorially independent.”
Here is NPR’s full statement:
“We are not putting our journalism on platforms that have demonstrated an interest in undermining our credibility and the public’s understanding of our editorial independence. Actions by Twitter or other social media companies to tarnish the independence of any public media institution are exceptionally harmful and set a dangerous precedent.”
Not surprisingly, Twitter and Musk did not return requests for comment on NPR’s announcement from NBC News.
Please RT and ❤️ to thank NPR for taking a stand against Elon Musk — and please consider joining the exodus to https://t.co/3VM3MqTSy0, a new pro-democracy Twitter competitor I created that is taking off like wildfire since Elon Musk banned their Twitter account last week — but forgot to ban this link to download the new Tribel app: https://t.co/0c9FDbB14A
People are asking me why I endorsed the use of "We're Not Gonna Take It" for the Ukrainian people and did not for the anti-maskers. Well, one use is for a righteous battle against oppression; the other is a infantile feet stomping against an inconvenience.
ok, I have cleaned it up a bit for posterity
I would like everyone to forward this game to all their friends and associates who say things like 'i would love to own a little bookstore' because it is imperative you save them from themselves
